Development Check

Citizens monitor. Everyone wins.

London

DevelopmentCheck is an app for real-time citizen feedback on the transparency, participation and effectiveness of development projects. It also enables community monitors to report on their success-rate in implementing fixes to identified problems. Integrity Action's Community Integrity Building approach is a successful and cost-effective way to improve the quality of public services and infrastructure. In turn, this improves the lives of thousands of people. Community Integrity Building involves learning about the community's needs and their service delivery problems. It then supports citizens, contractors and governments to resolve service delivery problems through constructive engagement, on-going monitoring of priority projects, and implementation of collaborative, practical solutions.
